Across the street is 1419 Race which is being renovated as part of the Park Haus development and is scheduled to be completed this summer:

At 1429 Race, the City and 3CDC partnered to save the old church at 15th and Race (aka St. Paulus Kirche). The stabilization of the church is truly extraordinary. According to 3CDC’s February 2012 monthly report, 3CDC is “applying for State of Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credits in order to complete the renovation. Two potential tenants have engaged architects to determine if their businesses are feasible operations within the church space – one is a bakery and the other a brew pub.”

Heading south Race Street, one intersects W. 13th Street halfway down the length of Washington Park. Just half a block from the park is 24 W. 13th Street, another Park Haus location.
